Solution
ADH:
- ADH or Antidiuretic hormone is a hormone that is secreted by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland. It controls the reabsorption of water.
- Secretion of ADH depends on the amount of water present in the blood.
- If the blood is having more water then the ADH secretion is inhibited by the osmoreceptors in the hypothalamic region of the brain and dilute urine is produced.
- When the blood is having lower amounts of water, ADH secretion is facilitated and concentrated urine is formed.
Final answer:
The full name of ADH is antidiuretic hormone.
